December is a time of warmth and support. "Nochlezhka" invites everyone to join the "Mandarinka and Tushonka" campaign and help collect New Year gifts for homeless people. From December 1 to 21, "Nochlezhka" is holding its annual charity event "Mandarinka and Tushonka" - a collection of New Year gifts for homeless people in St. Petersburg. Anyone can buy any of the necessary items and deliver them through partner collection points. Volunteers will pack all received gifts by December 22, and at the end of the month, they will hand them out to the foundation's beneficiaries - on the Night Bus, at Heating Points, in the Night Shelter, at the Distribution Point, in the Halfway House, in the Rehabilitation Shelter, and in the Shelter for the Elderly. The foundation is collecting the following items: soap, wet wipes, toothbrushes and toothpaste, sanitary pads, baby cream, disposable razors, nail clippers, deodorants, massage combs, men's and women's socks, warm insoles, gloves and mittens, hats, scarves, sugar, tea, candies, cookies, instant food, canned meat and fish, shopping bags, flashlights and batteries, thermoses, sewing kits, headphones, pens, and notebooks. The full list includes over 30 items, each of which will become part of a New Year gift for people without homes.
